Does anyone know any good tutorials to get someone started on making a new hud for quake?

No, but gazing at sbar.c helps (engine-side, anyway)

Maybe looking at QuakeWorld's might be a better idea? It has an alternate HUD already implemented as an example, and doesn't have the quite severe rogue/hipnotic ugliness in it.

Either way you'll want to run it through something like artistic style first. Formatting and indentation are all over the bloody place and it doesn't make the job any easier.

There WAS a rewrite of the HUD rewritten in CSQC.

This? I havn't bothered compiling it but obviously it's quake 3 themed.

Is there a doodles SVN? = )

actually its either, q1 or q3. the q3 stuff was just for the sake of it to say 'look, you can do this stuff' (rotating models instead of pics).

It's cool. I'll probably base something on it at some point.

Though, I didn't imagine an exact barebones Q1 HUD functionality rewrite posted up on these boards at some point...did I? :?
